Crystal Emmanuel-Ahye (born November 27, 1991) is a Canadian sprinter who specialises in the 200 metres. She is the Canadian champion in both the 100 m and 200 m as of July 2018. Crystal also holds the 200 m record for Canada, having broken a record that stood for 34 years.[6][7] She competed in this event at the 2012, 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics, but was eliminated in the semi-finals.[2][3][8] At the 2013 World Championships in Athletics, she was eliminated in the heats after being disqualified for a lane infringement.

She has also run as part of the Canadian 4 × 100 m relay team, and is part of the team that holds the Canadian record.[6] Set at the 2015 World Championships, Emmanuel-Ahye ran the first leg of the relay.[7] It broke the Canadian record set at the 2013 World Championships, where Emmanuel-Ahye also ran the lead off leg.[7]

When Emmanuel-Ahye won the 100 and 200 m titles at the Canadian Championships in 2011, she was the first woman to win both events since 2003.[7] She repeated the feat in 2016, 2017 and 2018.[9] Her race in the 200 m final at the 2017 World Championship was the first time a Canadian woman ran in the World Championship 200 m final since 1983.[9]

Her 100 m personal best was set at the 2018 NANAC Championships.[9]

Her mother Rosalind Emmanuel competed internationally for Barbados in athletics in the 1980s.[4]

She is married to Trinidadian and Tobagonian sprinter Michelle-Lee Ahye.[10]
